The first natioanl bank of boston pleaded guilty in a federal district court for failing to report $1.2 billion in cash transfers to swiss banks

A. for failing to report
B. for its failure to report
C. for its failure in reporting
D. to its failure in reporting
E. to failing to report

the answer is E i thought the correct idiom is " pleaded guilty" for x
also can anyone please explain why " its" is not required

The correct idiom is "plead guilty to + noun". Here noun is 'failing' which is action noun or you can call it gerund.

I am not sure whether 'its' required or not.

Experts, Please comment.

its is ambiguous here, is it referring to national bank of boston or federal court?

rahulg83, Initially I was also confused b/w 'plead guilty for' and 'plead guilty to' then I googled it and found that 'plead guilty to' is correct idiom. pls refer the link https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/plead+guilty+to

As I am not native english speaker, I think anyone who is native speaker can varify.
